Running out of office space in Ipswich? Simply Store offers a complete door-to-door archive storage service for businesses. We collect your documents, files and records directly from your premises, store them securely at our Suffolk facility, and return them whenever you need them.

What is Archive Storage?
Archive storage is secure, off-site storage specifically designed for business documents, files and records that you need to keep but don’t need daily access to. Rather than taking up valuable office space with filing cabinets and document boxes, your records are stored safely off-site and retrieved on demand.
Simply Store collects directly from your Ipswich premises, so there’s no need to transport anything yourself.

- We collect – our team comes to your Ipswich office or premises and carefully loads your documents
- We store – your records are stored securely at our Suffolk facility
